Dragons fly again...With her betrothal imminent, the beautiful Princess Ava has gone missing. Where has she fled to? Why has she gone? And why is the dragon stirring?Enter our hero. Gwen has been hunting wanted criminals for years, collecting bounties to provide for her mother and brother since the death of their father. The promise of an armful of gold for bringing the princess home is too good to ignore.But bringing her home doesn't solve anyone's problems. Gwen still has family to support, and Ava still has a miserable marriage to look forward to. How will they get over these hurdles? And what new ones will they create along the way?***Praise for Dragon Queens:"In general I found Ava's rational explanations about politicking in this book a very fun inversion of the classical scheming woman trope. Rather than being a conniving social climber she is just good at politics and enjoyed being good at it. Delightful"- D. B."For me, the mark of a good story is if I'm thinking about the characters and the events when I'm no longer reading. You certainly checked that box for me." - H. H."Some of the best storytelling I have experienced in a long time. I enjoyed it the whole way through and was left wanting more." - KrysieJ"Want to talk about the hot scenes? As Ava herself said "oh my f***ing Gods" they were described perfectly" - Jane Flowery***Tropes: Heroine Saves The PrincessSword and SorceryDragons! Ogres!

A finales de 1943 las tropas alemanas se preparan para invadir Hungría. Preocupado por la seguridad de su hija, un general del Ejército húngaro decide enviarla a un internado lejos de la capital. Gina, una adolescente vivaz, sofisticada y algo malcriada, no se deja impresionar por las razones que le dan y, cuando la escuela resulta ser ferozmente puritana en una ciudad de provincias, se rebela. Su actitud de superioridad ofende a sus nuevas compañeras de clase y las cosas se complican. Es el comienzo de un largo y amargo aprendizaje que le abrirá los ojos ante los verdaderos motivos y sentimientos de los demás. Expuesta por primera vez a las realidades de la vida de aquellos menos privilegiados que ella, y cada vez más enfrentada a lo siniestro de la guerra, aprende lecciones sobre la naturaleza de la lealtad, el coraje, el sacrificio y el amor.
